University graduate displays photographic works at Harvest restaurant in Rozelle, Sydney
Sweet's work is on display at Harvest Vegetarian Restaurant located at 71 Evans Street, Rozelle NSW.
It becomes clear to see that the setting in which artwork is positioned can assist greatly with the interpretation of the work. This is why Harvest Vegetarian Restaurant was so suitable for Sweet's work as the colours of the interior warmed to her two photographic prints. Having a perfectly fitting colour scheme, Sweet's photographs appear as if they were made particularly for the restaurant.
Sweet's work highlights the beauty in the process of time by arranging the roses in such a way to bring out the deep reds and pinks as the brownness of age starts to consume the once living roses. In Sweet's opinion, this is the most stunning phases of the rose's life, a beauty that should be appreciated and recognised. Rather than presenting photographs of your every day typical living roses, Sweet decided to wait nine months to dry out the roses to create the effect and result she was searching for. These photographs are an observation of a hidden reality that strangely resembles humanities progress through life.
